Veg Garden (Week 7).

In the veg garden this week there are some nice Broad Beans coming along. As you will notice they aren’t actually in the garden yet but have spent the winter in the unheated conservatory. They would have been ok outside but I why put them to the test if you don’t need too. I’m hoping they will reward me with a few extra beans to say thanks for letting me stay inside all winter.

Gday Bob, Gees ive missed a lot here in my absense.. I think ive told you I just love home grown broadbeens so yummy.. All your plants look so healthy and im sure they will give you an extra feed or after keeping them well sheltered from the elements. As for sweet peas you just anwered a querey I had.. I planted out sweet peas in a trough like container on my fence a few had little shoots but all dissappeared so replanted.. I was blaming birds,, but next door has a few chooks and i have caught a couple of mice, are now there lays the blame.., always keep the traps set for that reason.
